Longmont Dentist Explain the Benefits of Lumineers for Teeth Whitening Results

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry solutions for your smile, there are many options out there. It is important that you thoroughly understand potential procedures before you commit to a course of treatment. Today I’d like to talk about teeth whitening options—specifically the benefits of utilizing Lumineers to achieve a whiter, brighter smile.

What are Lumineers?

Lumineers are thin layers of porcelain that are placed directly over your teeth. Using Lumineers you can transform your smile and fix many cosmetic concerns. Generally, Lumineers can be placed in just two easy visits. Unlike traditional Veneers, Lumineers do not require your dentist to grind down healthy tooth structure. Many patients choose Lumineers to whiten and rejuvenate their teeth because they like the look of Cerinate porcelain, and they want to use Lumineers technology to achieve a custom smile makeover.

Benefits of Cerinate Porcelain

Lumineers are made of ultra-thin layers of multi-dimensional Cerinate porcelain.  These thin layers of porcelain effectively mimic the translucency and opaqueness of natural enamel. Cerinate porcelain is stunning because it allows Lumineers to look naturally bright, white, and radiant.

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of using Lumineers is that Cerinate porcelain is crafted to remain permanently white. Other teeth whitening solutions and gels require regular whitening sessions. However, most Lumineers patients can expect to retain their white smile for around 20 years, which is the average life of a Lumineer.

Benefits of Lumineers Technology

Lumineers can be crafted to fit your unique smile and desired results. For example, our Longmont Lumineers dentists shade Lumineers to fit each individual. This ensures that you will end up with a natural-looking, sparkling white smiles. With Lumineers you don’t need to worry about overly bright, fake-looking teeth.

Additionally, Lumineers are shaped to fit your mouth and smile. Because they are crafted with you in mind, Lumineers can help bring balance to your smile and highlight your best facial features.

Lumineers also give you an incredible amount of freedom to correct multiple cosmetic problems at once. If you’re a patient who wants a whiter smile and straighter teeth, for instance, Lumineers can help you achieve that in just two visits, rather than years of dental and orthodontic treatment. Lumineers can fix crooked teeth, large gaps in smile, and dull and stained teeth. They can also cover cracked and chipped teeth.

Lumineers allow patients to enjoy permanently white smiles, without filing down healthy tooth structure (as traditional veneers require). Some patients prefer Lumineers because the process can be completed quickly and comfortably. Ultimately, you should discuss your teeth whitening and cosmetic dentistry options with your dentist to get a better idea of what kind of procedure is right for your situation. As always, our Longmont Lumineers dentists can answer all of your questions, and talk about specific options in more detail. Just give us a call at (303) 776-4229 to speak to our one of our dentists.
